TUSCUMBIA-Exhibits at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia will come to life in October during a magical evening of fun, entertainment and music. The first ever Alabama Music Hall of Fame “Night at the Museum” begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 20.
Hall of Fame Manager Dixie Griffin said that it is going to be “a night to remember.” The

event is a fundraiser for the museum that showcases and preserves Alabama’s musical heritage. “The guests will be able to tour the museum and mingle with some of the greatest music minds and talents in the area, asking questions and getting autographs like never before,” Griffin said.
Many of the music legends like Jimmy Johnson, Spooner Oldham, Donnie Fritts, Rick Hall, Jerry Phillips, Travis Wammack, Harvey Thompson, Mark Narmore, Mickey Buckins, Secret Sisters, Gary Nichols, Marty Raybon, Mike McGuire, Jim Seales, Foster Family, Roger Clark, and Walt Aldridge who wrote, sang, played on or produced some of the greatest songs ever recorded will share their stories behind the hits. Griffin said the Hall of Fame inductees and other music industry icons will talk about how they got started in the music business, where they are now and where they are headed. “They will delve into what makes the Alabama and Muscle Shoals sounds so special,” she said.
Event participants could also come face-to-face with some of the biggest stars in the Hall of Fame, including Tammy Wynette, Hank Williams, Percy Sledge and other impersonators who will add flavor and fun to the evening of music and adventure, Griffin said.
The iconic stage from the Country Boy Eddie TV Show that has been preserved at the museum will come back to life for the evening with Mitch Mann and others performing many of the songs that have made Alabama music popular around the world.
Tickets are only $40 and include admission to the museum, opportunities to meet and mingle with music legends, a gift and cash bar.
“It is going to be an unforgettable evening for music fans from all over Alabama or from anywhere,” Griffin said. “We’re expecting a huge crowd and for the tickets to sell out fast.”
